Stephenson and I visited a summer fair<\/p>\n
Which was being held on the dry yellow fields<\/p>\n
Which were once part of\u00a0 the Blue Pigeon Farm<\/p>\n
I was again wearing my William Morris frock<\/p>\n
Which I thought best suited to the heat of this perfumed summer<\/p>\n
The stalls were offering a variety of homemade cakes and jams<\/p>\n
Others sold outgrown toys and bears so pretty in their gentle seduction<\/p>\n
I found Stephenson at the white elephant stall studying all things retro<\/p>\n
He then spotted a handmade theatre full of Shakespearean puppets<\/p>\n
We purchased it on the spot and we carried it back our cottage<\/p>\n
On closer inspection we found that had been constructed in 1916<\/p>\n
By George Painter the farmers son who had died in the Great War<\/p>\n
He had made it for his siblings to keep them occupied in his absence<\/p>\n
It was named The Blue Pigeon Theatre <\/em>which one could see above the faded curtain<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Jane of the Red Manor (2022)<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Stephenson and I visited a summer fair Which was being held on the dry yellow fields Which were once part of\u00a0 the Blue Pigeon Farm I was again wearing my William Morris frock Which I thought best suited to the heat of this perfumed summer The stalls were offering a variety of homemade cakes and […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-11364","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stuartmillerosborne.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11364","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stuartmillerosborne.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stuartmillerosborne.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stuartmillerosborne.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stuartmillerosborne.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11364"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/stuartmillerosborne.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11364\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":11368,"href":"https:\/\/stuartmillerosborne.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11364\/revisions\/11368"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stuartmillerosborne.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11364"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stuartmillerosborne.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11364"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stuartmillerosborne.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11364"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
